PHYSICS:FIRST COURSE TEACHER'S GUIDE

Physics A First Course meets the challenge of bringing in-depth, accurate science to all students. The program has been carefully designed to use instructional aids and strategies to meet the diversity of student learning styles.We believe that one way to meet student diversity is through inquiry-based learning. Physics A First Course is created around the premise that science is a process of exploration and discovery of ideas and that this new knowledge connects and enhances lives. Each of our eight chapters starts and ends with an investigation, bringing discovery to the students before and after reading the Student Edition. To support multiple-learning needs, the Student edition is reinforced with graphics that tell the same story in visual aids as the text. This provides students who prefer to learn through graphic representation another learning option. A Connection selection is included at the end of each chapter. These short, motivating articles demonstrate how science works in everyday life. Accompanying support and enrichment materials are available to round out the teaching process.
